Soot buildup from improper operation of Dodge's Bluetec exhaust system caused another Malfunction Indicator Lamp. Previous re-programming of the Emissions Control Module did not resolve the issue, resulting in another re-flash plus replacement of O2 sensors.
This condition is widespread on Dodge Ram 2500 vehicles based on internet research. Per Dodge, use of the vehicle under normal driving conditions will not allow re-generation of the Diesel Particulate Filter, causing excessive soot buildup within the engine and turbocharger. I can't use this vehicle for usual in-town, daily use or commutes of average distances. In addition, the MIL issue always seems to come up after a long-distance trip where a full re-generation cycle would normally appear. In about 1,500 miles of use, I gained over a quart of oil in the crankcase due to soot buildup. Failure to address this issue immediately can result in expensive damage to the turbocharger. I've been told by a dealer rep that I need to occasionally run the vehicle above 2300 rpm for at least an hour to clear the DPF. This essentially will cause me to run at speeds of 80-85 mph for at least an hour -- I wonder if the various area police departments grant speeding ticket waivers for this condition??? No reliable fix has been developed, causing me to doubt reliability of this vehicle.
